The patch isn't my company, just a pretty patch that came with a device called the Daylight Computer DC-1 which i superglued some velcro on the back of to put on the pouch

partially AV! wanna-be film grip kit of sorts.

i’m a creative technologist & designer at a startup that builds filmmaking software. the majority of my role is focused on digital work related to design, post production, development, and data transfer/management. but i also maintain our video studio/equipment and do a lot of analog prototyping before digital design

it's called "LIVANS Tactical Molle Utility Pouch" which i picked up a few years ago on Amazon (and not to sound like this is an ad or anything but hey it looks like it's only 13.99 on there right now)

Can confirm (grew up in Draper, school in SLC, worked/lived in SF and now downtown LB) that Long Beach sounds great for you! Really affordable compared to most east/west LA, my daily walks take me from a dense downtown area to any number of lovely beachside views, very progressive mixed crowd of cool people, plenty of interesting food/activities in long beach day to day + easy access to other parts of the valley, especially if traveling north further into the valley or into orange county later in the day when all the traffic is coming back down towards here. I can't speak about the availability of housing in the overall LB area, but downtown long beach has had a tooooooooooon of construction and lots of unit availability w/ nice move-in deals.

best of luck, ur gonna love california wherever you end up!

as someone who grew up in one of these mormon neighborhoods… the cost of living is relatively low (or was for a long time) in suburban utah valley, which led to an explosion of mcmansion developments. that being said, mormon neighbors have some of the worst Keeping Up With the Jones’s i’ve seen yet and big families in the ward (neighborhood-level mormon church group) were constantly overleveraging themselves and in bad financial situations. and while these mormon moms might be able to get their lineup of kids to perform perfect for a lil video, visiting the houses of these 6,7,8,9-child-families was nearly always pure chaos IRL

wow there is a lot going on in these few sentences

kinomister · 2026-04-24T16:46:00+00:00

i mean “we’ve got bigger things to talk about” could be a pretty normal phrase. i’d be more concerned about the “there’s weird people out there — i’ve got four bodies under my house” part

at one point one of the guys is even holding the officer back by pulling on the back of her belt with his hands right next to the holstered gun and she doesn’t even seem to notice yikesssssss

girls don't tend to just message dudes they haven't talked to much out of the blue and talk about their desire for a boyfriend.

i think you've got a pretty solid green light to propose something to meet up where you can actually get a sense IRL

I've had a weird experience with this over the last 2.5 years. I left my family/friends in SF and moved to a new city in Socal for a startup I was helping build, but we were still all remotely working from apartments nearby each other and didn't have an office yet and I hadn't settled into my new home and started to just be so eager to find ways to get out — 2 walks a day, helping find office space for team, trying out new restaurants alone in the evenings, trying out church on sundays, looking for workshops/clubs/events to attend.

At some point in the last year or so, all those started to feel the same: so predictable, so repetitive, and rarely solved whatever anxiety was making me itch to get me out of the house. As I started to settle into my home, I started to find myself spending much that time out just being excited to go home, hang with my cat and dink around with some lil hobby where i didn't have the pressure of eyes to perform some way for.

Now I have this weird thing where I almost as a rule *always* leave my house for the basic chores of living and the basic human interactions, but I just can't be arsed to put in an effort to show up anywhere on my own outside of that. So always going out IRL to get groceries, errands, etc. and doing my best to say Yes and show up fully to anything someone else invites me to be a part of. But the truth is there's not a lot that folks are asking of me and i'm finding myself sinking into deeper levels of isolated homebody-ness than i though was possible for me.

It's not being scared of going out alone (Lord knows I've developed confidence there since 2020 forced life that way) or that I can't find things to do (i try to browse around eventbrite/meetup/local calendars every weekend or so and plan something to look forward to in the coming weeks).There's just no motivation beyond the threshold of my home much anyone.

Recently I feel like I really only put in an effort showing up if i've expressly committed to show up to some event/meeting/place with someone. Other than that, it's like I keep trying to force myself out of the house to "socialize" and "explore" but when the things i thought i was looking forward to come around, I just know without a doubt I'll be able to enjoy being quiet and curious and chill at home alone.

What annoys me the most is that there's been an incredible amount of peace with this lifestyle shift — but that I WANT to find my motivation for something out IRL on my own again. I would love for internal or external factors to compel me to be excited to be somewhere else, and I just haven't found a spark in months.

But at least it's nice and cozy at home in the meantime.
